root development Applications

The animal feed industry has its roots in the way traditional millers grinded the grains centuries ago, using (wooden) windmills. Nowadays feed is produced for chickens and other poultry, as well as for cattle, pigs and horses. There is a wide variety of feed and grains produced, with different raw materials (nutrients) applied in several compositions.

In this modern era electric driven pellet mills are applied and grains are cooled mainly in counterflow coolers. To remove dust from the used cooling air usually a baghouse filter is being used which can meet the current severe dust emission standards. After this the air eventually will be blown outside. Especially the cooling air of poultry feed and pig feed production should be deodorized to prevent complaints.

A factory usually has multiple pellet lines in service with about 15,000 to 25,000 m3/h of cooling air per line. Aerox has developed specific solutions for this industry.

On the one hand a compact Aerox®-Injector can be installed per pellet line. On the other hand, airflows of different production lines can be joined together and can be treated with one compact Aerox®-Injector. In practice, this can be added up to 4 lines with a total airflow of up to 90,000 m3/h.

Since the Aerox®-Injector can run on different capacities unnecessary power consumption is prevented when not all pellet lines are in service. This benefits the environment and reduces operational costs.

Our Agrotas range of Super Absorbent Fibre (SAF) and converted products allow you to achieve optimum nurturing and growth conditions whilst effectively reducing overall water usage. Our unique fibrous technology creates new possibilities for the development of nonwoven fabrics that can be used as both temporary and long-term solutions, from hanging basket liners to commercial scale projects, even in areas of low water availability. Such fabrics are designed to achieve highly controlled delivery of water and nutrients to root systems, whilst significantly reducing evaporative loss and water seepage. SAF can also be dosed directly to the soil. Advantages: •Ease of handling and installation •Wide range of formats •Suitable for short-and long-term use •Reduced re-watering periods •Enhanced establishment times •Accurate, consistent nutrient distribution

AN ORGANIC SOIL ADDITIVE THAT STIMULATES SOIL HEALTH AND ASSISTS IN SOLUBILIZING MINERALS IN THE SOIL FOR MORE EFFICIENT UPTAKE Deserving of it's name, Bio Soil Magic is installed at only 50 grams per acre into the soil prior to seeding. Among it's benefits, Bio Soil Magic reduces applied moisture, decreases fertilizer usage, assists greatly in solubilizing phosphates and mobilizing potassium for easier and more efficient uptake of nutrients. When combined with Seed UP, a microbial inoculant, it results in profuse root development and increased yields of quality crops. BIO SOIL MAGIC is based on an advanced scientific approach combining the benefits of bio fertilizers and new technological solutions using naturally occurring bio stimulants. It maintains a balanced, efficient and effective microbial environment that decreases pressures from pathogens, and reduces fertilizer, water and pesticide inputs. BIO SOIL MAGIC is intended for use in field crops, horticulture, turf, forage and ornaments. BIO SOIL MAGIC product should be used by persons trained in the proper methods of handling and application. The microbial consortia in this product assist in maintaining the ecological balance of the soil and play a pivotal role in significantly improving soil conditions.
